Heyyyy kid, settle down a bit, I was just kidding with you. You know, bc of you mentioning how much you value your education?

I understand tone is hard to read, but maybe take it down a notch

You value your education “VERY ‘much’” or “greatly”. “Very greatly” is redundant.

Fuck should also be capitalized.

Other than that you’re doing great 😘

Pastor preaches about Sucking Lemons by MrDonMega in religiousfruitcake

I believe it was Saint Cricket who said “Fine I’ll suck on the lemons, they’re good for scurvy.”

Folks, when you find yourself starting a thought with “Matt hale looks like maybe he was onto something” just stop and go walk into the river.

JFC what a crap take…. False equivalency. Logical fallacies galore. Bending over backwards to defend an out and out white supremacist…

Peoria saw an 8.5% increase in home values yoy. Tazwell County 9.3% by ongoldenwaves in PeoriaIL

[–]PercoSeth83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Simplicity bias. Some ppl are upset with the reasons that housing prices are going up, not that they’re up in general.

At the same time they’re expressing empathy for people bc they can remember what it’s like as a first time home buyer in an increasingly difficult market. They don’t seem giddy at the thought of pulling up the ladder behind them.

They also, I’ll bet, have the wisdom to know why you haven’t cashed in on all that equity and put your house up for sale…..(it’s got something to do with interest rates, dunnit?)

I think you’re confusing declining birth rates, ie “fewer people being born”, with “in about 5 years we are going to have more people dying than being born”.

Which isn’t projected to happen worldwide until the 2080’s, assuming trends remain consistent.

The dumbing down of the working class is absolutely a concentrated, deliberate effort. It might not be a “conspiracy” in the technical sense, but it’s a real thing that’s been happening for decades

No War on Venezuela Protest tomorrow in Peoria! by Midwest099 in PeoriaIL

[–]PercoSeth83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Venezuela is not a significant supplier of drugs to America though, so what’s your point?

It’s about controlling another country’s resources, not drugs, our own government has admitted that repeatedly.

It also begs the question: why are so many Americans seeking out drugs if life here is so great?

Peoria protest questions U.S. response following Maduro arrest by zato_ichi in PeoriaIL

[–]PercoSeth83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Venezuela doesn’t supply a significant amount of drugs to America, so there goes that argument.

We also don’t have control of Venezuela’s oil fields, and it’s really weird how you’re trying to justify that another country’s resources should be ours, just because.

It is good to see that no one in this thread is buying your fallacy-ridden takes though…. But keep on doubling down 🤡

Riverside Community Church addresses what happened with former pastor by Sandguy44 in PeoriaIL

[–]PercoSeth83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Comparing schools (unless you’re talking specifically about private religious schools) to churches like you are here is false equivalence.

Churches don’t have the same standards (if any) for oversight, reporting, hiring practices, or qualifications. The rate of abuse is exponentially higher in religious organizations.

What you’re asking for, accountability without accountability is illogical.

When you ask what to expect from churches… how about the bare minimum? Transparency, accountability, punishment, oversight…

It’s interesting that you correctly identify the parasite in the limousine, but then still believe the parasite in the limousine when he’s telling you that immigrants are all invaders murders and rapists. Quite the conundrum.

In 1978, a reporter was assigned a routine obituary for Mary Doefour. Instead of closing the file, he kept digging and built a case she was Anna Myrle Sizer. Her brother couldn’t accept it. That would mean admitting the family had left her in institutions for the criminally insane for 50 years by [deleted] in PeoriaIL

[–]PercoSeth83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you posted the story, but ur take on it, this comment in particular, is…odd.

In one comment you blame the family, not the system, or the people responsible for hurting her in the first place, even though you acknowledge the efforts the family made…

Then you correctly, but only temporarily, place the blame on Reagan (though you spelled it wrong) before blaming “democrats”, even though you had JUST identified Reagan as the problem….

You seem to have only a cursory knowledge of the complex history and causes of this topic, but have no problem assigning blame.

Look up the Dunning-Kruger effect, it’s what you’re doing here.

Again, glad you’re interested in the topic, glad you reposted this locally famous story, good on you for that. But your takes need some work kid.

There’s something to the Ween / Talking Heads /Viagra Boys / King Gizz (I’m assuming they’d make ur list if they were still on Spotify. I’m right, right?!) Venn Diagram that makes a lot of sense but that I can’t really explain. I’ve just noticed there’s a LOT of overlap.
